“X-Men: Dark Phoenix” will be set in 1992, a decade after the events of the franchise’s previous installment, 2016′s “X-Men: Apocalypse.” This new film, set to premiere Nov. 2, 2018, will explore a darker side of the mutant heroine’s powerful mind.

“My standards have definitely been raised. It’s a blessing and a curse, ‘Game of Thrones’ being my first job and working with such incredible scripts and such incredible veteran actors, and working with the best crew,” she said. “It makes you a bit of a snob, I think.”

“I kind of want to do everything,” Turner later added. “I feel this sense that everything is over ‘Game of Thrones’-wise. I have nothing to lose right now, because I don’t have ‘Game of Thrones’ anymore. I’m kind of born again, because I’m at a different stage of my career now — not necessarily at a higher level, I just find myself at a different version of my career. So I’m going to try my hand at everything.”
